I am sitting her in English class writhing an essay on how “I” made the decision to come to foothill high school. Well the truth of the matter is, is that I didn’t make the decision to come here, my mom actually did. I wanted to go to Newbury high school where all my friends were. During my 8th grade year I didn’t think too much about high school, because I didn’t want things to change. I was really focusing on my grades and trying to spend as much time with my friends as possible before we all went our separate ways. I knew what high school I wanted to go to, or I least knew what my high school choices were. Deciding what high school I wanted to go to was easy, but my mom had a different plan for my she wanted me to go to a smaller technology high school that would keep me concentrated and confined. She wanted me to go to foothill high school.
My choices for high school were the statement of the mind and heart. My first choice was Newbury high school, my second Camarillo high school, and then my last choice was Thousand Oaks high school. I wanted to go to all of these high schools mostly because all of my friends were going to these schools or to be close to my friends. I had another reason for going to all these school to. I wanted to play the sports, dances, clubs, and see my old crush. I have known most of my friends since kindergarten so leaving them was so hard leaving them. When my mom first told me that she wanted me to go to foothill I completely shut the thought out of my mind. I knew what I wanted and that was that.
I had done a lot research but only on Newbury because it was really my only choice the more I thought about it. I did research because I knew I had to convince my mom and that in the end it was all going to be her choice about what high school I was going to go to. I had found a few reasons for me to go to Newbury. One of my reasons was that you can major in a class so that when you go to college they know what you want to major in. You could also join and make clubs. I had friends that were going to Newbury so I could care pool with my friends to make things easier for my mom. My mom had done research on foothill too. She told me so much about how there was block schedule but so did Newbury. My mom also told me that
Over all I finally realize my mom wasn’t too wrong. This school is pretty amazing. It may be a little too small for my taste, but I could very well see myself excelling at this school. My grades are excellent and to be fair I don’t think they would be nearly as good if I were to go to Newbury Park with my friends. Here I have found that having a block schedule as apposed to a regular High school schedule is a lot easier and not only that, but having the advantage of seeing your teachers every other day just makes it that much more awesome. However there’s one thing I still want and that is to have my old friends. By coming here I’ve learned to adapt without all the thing I had at home and now I’m no longer mad at my mom.
